Urban Decay Lightbeam Eyeshadow Palette

Hey there! Hope your week has been ok so far!

The soon-to-be-released Urban Decay Lightbeam Eyeshadow Palette has arrived and I’ve got all the details and some swatches for you.

Urban Decay Lightbeam Eyeshadow Palette is a small little palette which features five new eyeshadow shades, all in warm tones. There are different finishes of the eyeshadows, but all are definitely giving a warm, tan, orange-y summer feeling to me.

Nude, Vibe, Paradox, Golden Hour, Influence (over primer)

Nude is a light tan nude matte.

Vibe is a warm-toned brown with gold micro-shimmer .

Paradox is a bright metallic orange with gold micro-shimmer.

Golden Hour is a deep, burnt red with a green shift and green micro-shimmer.

Influence is a deep metallic brown with gold micro-shimmer.

As you can see the shade “Nude” barely shows up on my skin, but it is a nice transition or highlight shade for these other colors, which are nicely pigmented. The only one which felt like it would have fall-out from the micro-shimmer was Golden Hour, which is also my favorite shade because of the green shift. I also really like Paradox and Influence. This is a bit warm for me as I generally prefer cooler tones, but it’s pretty nonetheless.

You can find the Urban Decay Lightbeam Eyeshadow Palette on their site soon (sorry I do not have an exact date) and it’s $24.00.

What are your feelings about this palette?

Too much shimmer for me – and also far too strong on the red tones for me – I would look like I had crying eyes wearing most of these. I have green eyes, so red tinge any shade, looks pretty horrible on me.

They’re not bad colours, and it’s a cute palette, but they’re all such neutral dupeable shades (besides Golden Hour) that it really doesn’t seem worth it. We’ve seen so many warm/orange/rose gold toned palettes within the past two years that it’s getting old at this point.
